rdtallboy25's given a good explanation on the differences between the two. But basically, MP3 is compressed, WAV isn't, so a WAV file is larger.

As for software to convert between the formats, a really good one I use on occasion is Goldwave. Audacity is another one I've used with good results, although it doesn't allow all the options Goldwave does and I'm not sure if it allows you to save as an MP3.
